We're on a mission to make a miracle every day. As a token of our appreciation for making 2010 an epic year, we're giving away a high-quality 320Kbps download every day this November. That's 30 days of Dead! Intrigued? We're also going to put your knowledge to the test and give you the chance to win some great music from the Dead.+ More InfoYou know your Ables from your Bakers from your C's, but can your finely tuned ears differentiate the cosmic "comeback" tour from a spacey 70's show? Each day we'll post a free download from one of the Dead's coveted shows. Will it be from that magical night at Madison Square Garden in '93 or from way back when they were just starting to warm it up at Winterland? Is that Pigpen's harmonica we hear? Brent on keys? Step right up and try your hand.

Each day, the first person to guess the venue & date correctly will get a Road Trips of their choice. If you’re not first but you've answered correctly, you will also be automatically entered for a weekly prize of THE WARNER BROTHERS STUDIO ALBUMS VINYL BOX (EXCLUSIVE EDITION) or a FORMERLY THE WARLOCKS boxed set.

Now I have a suggestion. I would be willing to pay for a Premium Upgrade that would edit out Donna's banshee bit from 1:58 to 2:03. I am not a Donna hater, but that bit always grates on my last good nerve.

It's a stand-alone Playing with Donna and one drummer, so that narrows it down to 72-74, and the length (28+ minutes) narrows it even further. I had it narrowed to two, and the one I guess turned out to be wrong. So that leaves it at one version left that I think it is, but that too is probably wrong!

"I saw the 22 minute version from 10/28/72... checking my old Maxell's for a longer one. Dark Star that night was a gem, with the mirror ball spinning and flashing."

Is that an eyewitness account, then?! Must've been a sweet window when you got to another galaxy with Playin' AND with Dark Star (or The Other One) in the same show, before the former basically replaced the latter's slot.

arkusrymer: I'm definitely not complaining. I'm sure they'll work out the kinks. Fortunately I have not had any of the downloading problems other folks have had. I'm with you, if I don't win that's okay. I'm having the time of my life putting 30 years of Grateful Dead knowledge to the test. It's giving me focus.

yetay, Thats got to be one of the largest PIB I ever heard, tight, defenitly early, 69-71. There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert, Dead show, or Furthur we will go. But 30 days of Dead is as good as it gets right now. AT LEAST WERE ENJOYING THE RIDE111
Thanks all us Dead Heads 4 sure.
DFA/ Grateful Life, yetay

Yes, I went right to 1973 myself and honed in on 5/13/73. Had an old bootleg of part of this show. My entry was a little late, oh well. I think most of the winners of this will be people with either lots of time on their hands, a fast internet connection (to cross check with Archive), one hell of a GD collection, or LUCK! (^_^)

I want to thank everyone involved in executing this project. What a brilliant piece of marketing. Pump up the web site traffic and get those dead-ly juices flowing. It must be merely coincidental that the Christmas shopping season will have officially begun by the time the contest is over. I'm not complaining - I'm just sayin'

4/6/89 in Ann Arbor, MI is mighty high on the list. The freshness of material they were playing had everyone on their toes. The crunchy twang of Bobby's high strung guitar, Phil's hammering runs and Brent's organ riffs give this one true identity. Jerry does some steering from the outside in... and when it seems they've gotten completely lost... well... the transition speaks for itself. Great show from front to end!

Figured it out. This was a lot tougher than the Dark Star a couple of days ago. I was immediately correct in guessing the year, but the timing threw me off. This is much longer than almost any other version they played around the same time. Nice to hear it exists in such good sound quality because the version on the archive is pretty bad.

I submitted it early today and then once again just to be sure since the site was down - never got a confirmation the first time. Anyway, pretty sure that is the right answer. Hope I was the first one. Anyway, I love this 30 day run - very fun! Thanks so much!!!

Like that New Speedway Boogie, The Darkstar too. The OTHER Dead site was showing PITB right before I came here tonight. Interesting. Nobody was on the chat room over there though, guess Deadheads go to bed early these days.... PEACE!!

Logged in late and someone already won. But the file to download is not there...and I not seeing it someplace on the page? Also, please adjust your November calendar. It shows the week starting on a Monday the 1st. That's OK in Europe, but most of us start the week on Sunday. So, Monday should be in the second spot with a blank spot for Sunday, Oct. 31st.
